Hiya , im gunna get a new bike for chrimbo . Do you know of any mountain bikes for under £350 - £400 . I have seen both the 2010 and 2011 specalised on evans cycles at the moment they are my favourites. Also what is this bike like , does anything on it break and so on. Hope you can reply.
@LuigiRS Because the SR forks are miserable compared to the rockshox or fox forks...spending this much money on a bike with weak piece of hardware like that is not cool. Keep in mind, SR also makes forks for super low end bikes.
@bangonitdave Depends on what kind of riding you want to do. Check the Marzocchi site. They list the forks (obviously) and tell you what their intended usage is. For a big guy like me that likes going fast, the Marz 66 series is the ticket. Tons of travel, adjustable, and strong.
Decide what kind of riding you want to do then go from there. If you already know, then all the better. :-)
i am looking into getting this bike for alil road rideing nd sandy to hard trail riding would this be a good bike for a beginer? how are the tires and forks on this bike whats the rated psi at and how soft r the forks?
hey im looking to get a bike and get into riding, most of my riding will be on trails, gravel and paths, but also some off road thrown in would this be a good starter bike for me or should i go with something less expensive, i dont really want to pay 400 or 500 but i dont want junk either thanks to whoever responds
@drewsterm7 It sounds like you basically want a good entry level bike, that's not too expensive. I paid £350 for mine, and I do mostly the type of riding you listed i.e nothing to hardcore.
this bike should be perfect for you. also you might want to check the Trek 4300 but that's a bit more expensive.
This Specialized or the Trek 4300 will be perfect for you. Try and find a deal on 2009 or 2010 models, as they're cheaper now the 2011's are out. Don't let bike snobs tell you that you need better, as you simply don't. I have a Diamondback Sorrento which is a step down from the two I mentioned and it handles all what you want it for without complaining...so those two will easily stand up to it. Hope this helps. :)
i just got this bike yesterday, its well hadling through rough terrain, i prefer it for lite XC. I got the 2011. version with yellow coated fram and Fork!!!! what a nice combination of colors!!! five star for this bike !
@NorthSea0il those come stock with juicy 7 dont waste your money on breaks. ya hydraulics is the way to go but those juicy work great for just being disc save your 300 bucks and buy a rockshock reba comp.
Beautiful, I have the black and white version exact same as this one except the colour. A joy to ride and amazing for the price. Forks are okay but I love how light it is. They make some of the best looking frames ive ever seen!
NICE!! just picked mines up today 23" black and grey. Cant wait to tear some shit up on it!! I wanted a dual suspension but shit man they want to much money for them styles. Mongoose had a few but i aint tryna go that route u know. Anyways nice bike bro enjoy!!
@kabfisher Where did you buy it? there is a bike store near my home and this bike cost $670, I feel its too expensive and that I may find it somewhere else at a cheaper price but I can't find such place
yo, is it a good bike? i absolutly love the way it looks and the price would suggest its good quality, but ive never known or owned anything of 'specialized', so whats it like?
I have a 2006 Hard Rock sport i don"t know much about bikes and am looking to buy a new one i live in the city and need a bike that can take some wear and tear but i also need it to be kind of light weight. Does anyone here know of a bike that would be good for me and also doesnt cost around $550 or less?
@NorthSea0il oow, i see.. here ini Indonesia i can only find the 15 and 17 inch one.. and it costs $450.. is it a ripoff? what do you think of this bike? im gonna buy it soon, but im still looking around for some advices :D
@salamanderstorm : there are already 2011 hardrock at Build A Bike, Jakarta for the same price as 2010. And also more colors. Considering the cost, insurance and freight $450 is ok. They will offer you some discount or another package.
@salamanderstorm : yes, I am. Unfortunately "build a bike" (the distributor for specialized) is just around the corner of my house. By the way, you can get local brand like United, Polygon, Wim Cycle for slightly cheaper price. But remember, "Specialized" is international brand with lifetime warranty for the frame. So is up to you to decide.
I have a £8000 Penny Farthing. It has no suspension, one wheel bigger than the other and when you buy it, you get a free top hat and monacle. Anyone up for a race? I can get from 0-3MPH in roughtly 7-10 mins.
This is an absolutely beautiful bike. Im gonna get one tomorrow as I've saved up for it for so long! By the way, is this the sport disk or the comp or pro? I can't really tell the difference! lol
I ride a £3000 cannondale carbon frame,got myself one of the hardrock comp models in white and red,it's amazing can't say a bad thing about it only the comp only has 80mm of travel,but who cares!!!!!!!
I am ordering one of these this week also in white............I will also be getting Crud Catchers so I don't experience the collection of doffy doo that you did.
I will also be getting as much security as I can in case it catches the eye of people with no respect for other peoples property. The bike certainly looks much more expensive than what it retails at.
Ride safe and let us all know how much you are enjoying it.
Nice!
